Why is Paulinho not holder against Chelsea?
Author of the goal of victory and consequent classification against Botafogo in the round of 16, Paulinho is out of technical option. The ten shirt should be a trump card of coach Abel Ferreira for the course of the match.
In that confrontation, the player also started in the bench and entered the 19th minute of the second half. He was replaced 13 minutes into the first half of the extension, a change that was made to preserve it.
Since April 12, Paulinho has played 11 games with Palmeiras, being a starter only once, scoring a goal and giving two assists. The club took care that its game load was restricted. Therefore, he worked at the Club World Cup with reduced gaming time.
All the care happened due to an injury to the right tibia bone, the striker’s old problem, since the time he played at Atletico-MG. He will undergo a new surgery at the scene after the Club World Cup dispute. The time for recovery is three to four months.
Confirmed lineup of Palmeiras
The defender will be formed by Bruno Fuchs and Micael. This will be the third match in the year they make the duo holder. In place of Piquerez, Vanderlan takes the left side.
Confirmed lineup of Palmeiras: Weverton; Giay, Bruno Fuchs, Micael and Vanderlan; Emiliano Martínez, Richard Ríos and Allan; Stephen, Facundo Torres and Vitor Roque. Technical: Abel Ferreira.
